Jack Ongman of Saint John the Baptist Elementary won first place with his drawing of a police car being pulled by reindeer.

“The uniqueness of the reindeer pulling the Draper Police car, it tugs at you,” Roberts said of the contest’s winning entry.

Kambree Guest of Saint John the Baptist Elementary and Kathryn Jane Miner of Willow Springs Elementary were the contest’s two runner-up winners. Kambree’s artwork depicted a police badge with a Santa hat on top while Kathryn drew a police snowman.

The children, their parents, their school principals and teachers were honored at the Dec. 2 city council meeting.

Roberts noted that news of last year’s contest spread across the country.

“We’ve got an agency in Georgia that jumped on the bandwagon,” he said.
